Thanks for using Feeling Lucky Fixer. Other than installing the extension, you don't need anything more to enable the keyword browsing on Flock 2. All you need to use extension is typing a keyword in location bar that describes your visit site best (e.g. yahoo mail) and pressing Enter.

In case another extension spoilt your settings (this will be actually a rare case) you may have still problems about keyword browsing. If so, you can send your case description as comment to help me provide you extension support.

Photoshop CS3 has introduced a very intuitive way to let users adjust fine tune required settings by just clicking on labels and dragging. Photoshop Like Slider plugin will bring that functionality to your html forms.

To try, just click on the label saying Factor on above form and drag towards to right or left to easily adjust factor of pixel ratio.**

Above demonstration shows you one of the photoshop settings window brought to you as an html form and how photoshop users easily fine tune setting values by a handy photoshop slider . Now you can add this functionality to every form area that has to be adjusted numerically. Not just text input areas but also select tags support the usage of this plugin and sliders.

It is customizable, too. You can explicitly specify pixel intervals at which changes will occur, decrement and increment amounts (both integer and float values are valid), down limits and up limits for each form area that you called plugin method from.

To get the plugin click on the download button. See documentation page for more usage information and examples.

**This plugin isn't in final stage but in preview. Currently working on Firefox, Flock and Safari. Although I have struggled to make the plugin work on Opera and Internet Explorer they resisted to work. There should be a library based problem. I am searching on it. Anyway, if you are viewing the page on Opera or Internet Explorer you need to switch to FireFox, Safari or Flock to be able to see how the plugin works. Best viewed on Safari and Flock.

Photoshop like slider plugin will implement its functionality on a jquery wrapper object just by calling the pls ( abbreviation of Photoshop Like Slider) method. It doesn't requeire any other plgin but jquery core. An example of plugin implementation is below.

According to above statement a photoshop slider will be added to very dom nodes that jqery wrapper contains itself. In oour case there s only one dom node inside the wrapper. For each 5 pixels' dragging to the right, the value will icnrease by 1 and to the left will decrease by again same amount. Form area value will not be less than 0 or more than 120. The form area that will receive the changes is the one that has class attribute whose value assigned as jj.

The more detailed descriptions for each object map properties are below with special example pages provided.

foreachpixel: This will ensure decrement and increment will occur at specific intervals. 1 px intervals are difficult to fine tune setting values. So specify 5 or 10 to let your users easily adjust the value. You might assign 100 or 200 but that is again makes the adjusting process cumbersome.

changevalue: This will increase or decrease form area value on specific intervals that you specified at foreachpixel property. An integer e.g. 5000 or a float such as 0.0015 or 3.5 can be assigned.

downlimit: will determine down limit of the value range that form area might have. Negative values are also valid. Just make sure that down limit isn't bigger than up limit.

uplimit: will determine the up limit of the value that your slider can create for the form area.

changetarget: the target dom node that you wish to change its value by sliding.

Whenever you call pls method on a jquery wrapper all dependencies will be created from adding css cursors to drag events automatically. Don't forget to upload your cursor images to your server or an image hosting service and update the css file that comes with the plugin package.

In most cases the jquery wrapper that you call pls method from will contain the text input tags. But you can also assign these photoshop sliders to select tags.

Refer to download link to download plugin package. If you have any question to ask don't hesitate to post as commnet.

For each pixel property will specify the update frequency of value change on the very form node that you assigned from changetarget while creating statement. Higher the value lower the frequency will be.

Change target will specify nodes that the sliding process will change their values. You will pass a logical jquery wrapper according to your form and your needs. The most important points to care about are the wrapper length and the changevalue wrapper length must be equal and you shouldn't pass anything rather than a jquery wrapper to changevalue property.
As shown in second form example, you may overwrite the property values by specifying another statement for the desired form labels.

As other text input nodes you will pass target select tags in a jquery wrapper to changevalue property. When implemented, the changevalue, downlimit and uplimit property values aren't evaluated by the plugin. Because, for a select tag down limit always is zero, up limit is total option tags length that select tag contains and changevalue equals to 1 to select option tags one by one. These are claculated at run time. So you can pass 1 to downlimit and uplimit properties but it willn't have any effect on the process of plugin.

OpenDNS is great service as providing safer and faster surfing experience for web users. However when it comes, it brings a big headache for Firefox and Flock users.

Keyword browsing * is the facility that let users visit their fancy web sites without typing those ugly urls but a simple keyword. It is completely big time saver for all web users. Just typing a keyword e.g. facebook in address bar and pressing enter will bring you Facebook in a few seconds. This is the case if you are using most user friendly browsers like Firefox and Flock but other browsers unfortunately lack this functionality. I have created some plug 'n play solutions that will work around the problem and add keyword browsing support to today's most used browsers easily.

Surprisingly, adding keyword browsing support to Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8 versions is pretty easy. I have created two search engines for the task. According to your browser version click on the appropriate button and add the needed search engine to your browser to start using keyword browsing immediately.

After you click on appropriate button, a small confirmation window will appear. Activate the option saying "Make this my default search provider" as depicted below to use keyword browsing facility in no time.

There you go. You are ready to give a try. Just type myspace in your location bar and press enter. You will land on Myspace in a moment. Try another one. Type yahoo and press enter. In a few seconds you will get Yahoo main page on your screen.

Other example keywords you may give a try.

youtube keyword will bring you leading video sharing web site - Youtube

live keyword will bring you the Microsoft's search engine - Live Search

facebook keyword will land you on the popular social network site - Facebook

For any site that you want to reach via keyword browsing, just find a good keyword that will describe the visit site best, type in your browser's location bar and then press enter. That is all you need to know.

If you have any problem, question to ask or want to thank, don't hesitate to post as comment.

Adding just a new search engine will be enough to implementing keyword browsing on Opera. Because adding search engines automatically (like in Internet Explorer) to Opera is not possible, we will create it from scratch. But it will not take too long. In a minute everything will be fine and ready to go.

From menu bar follow Tools > Preferences path. A new panel will appear and click on Search tab, then.

Press on Add button at the right side of the panel. A new search engine panel will appear. Fill out the form as depicted below.

Note: Below isn't an image but a form area so you can get the contents of the form area (yellow boxes) by right clicking and then copying.

After you filled out all sections, click on OK to proceed. Now close all open panels and open a new browser tab on Opera. On other browsers typing keyword and pressing enter is enough to implement I'm Feeling Lucky searches in location bar. But on Opera you should not forget to use the keyword that you defined in keyword section above.

Now lets give a try. Type go ebay into your location bar and press enter. You will land on Ebay in a moment. Try another one. Type go gmail and press enter. In a few seconds you will see Gmail main page on your screen.

Other example keywords you may give a try.

go smashing magazine will bring you a popular weblog dedicated to web-developers and designers - Smashing Magazinego lifehacker will bring you the famous productivity blog - Lifehackergo psdtuts will land you on a great blog that brings together photoshop talents and their great psd tutorials for photoshop users - PSDTuts

If you have any problem, question to ask or want to thank, don't hesitate to post as comment, please.

Maxthon doesn't provide a default keyword browsing support but you can bring the functionality onto your own Maxthon easily.

From Maxthon menu bar, follow Tools > Maxthon Setup Center path. Click on Search link on the left panel. A new frame will appear. At the end of the page below Search Engines heading, click on the Add Item link. A new form area will appear. Fill out the form as shown below.

*Note: I have created a simple form area below, that is completely identical to Maxthon Add Search form. So you can right click on the text areas, copy and paste values to your Maxthon without losing time for typing. Choosing all text will be handled automatically when clicked on text.

After filled out everything, click on Save. Open a new tab and type your keyword digg in location bar and press enter. Your location bar search will lead you to the site that your keyword best describe, in this case to DIGG .

Other example keywords you may give a try.

wikipedia keyword will bring you the popular open source encyclopedia - Wikipediaflickr will bring you the best online photo management and sharing application - Flickrblogger keyword will land you on the Google's famous blogging web service - Blogger
